    State-Based Conceptual Design in Mechatronics Via Petri Nets: a Case Study for an Educational Robot
    (Romanian Soc Control Tech informatics, 2011) Erden, Zuhal; Mechatronics Engineering
    Use of state-based models to represent artifact behaviors at conceptual design is a challenging area for design research. Conceptual design of mechatronic systems needs a multi-domain approach in which the "logical behavior" of a mechatronic design artifact is described without any physical realization. This paper presents a case study on state-based representation for the intended behavior of a non-existent robot at early conceptual level. The behavior is defined through a demonstrative scenario and represented as states and state transitions independent of any physical embodiment. Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) and Petri Net formalism are used for the model. This representational model is first step towards the development of a virtual prototype for the logical behavior of robot design.

    Bir Üretim Hattında Robot Seçimine Çok Kriterli Karar Verme Yaklaşımı
    (2022) Arslan, Rasim Atakan; Erden, Zühal; Baç, Uğur
    Bu tezde, insan tabanlı üretim hatlarının robot tabanlı otomasyon sistemleri kullanılan üretim hatlarına dönüştürülmesinde kullanılacak en uygun mekatronik sistemlerin seçilmesi için çok kriterli karar verme (MCDM) yöntemi olarak SWARA-WASPAS yöntemini uyguluyoruz. Robotlar insanlardan daha hızlı ve daha hassas hale gelmekle kalmıyor, aynı zamanda uzun vadede genellikle daha uygun maliyetli oluyorlar. Farklı görevler için kullanılan bu robotlardan yüksek verim almak ve en uygun robotu seçmek en zor problemlerden biridir. En uygun olan sistemin seçilmesi için farklı kriterler ve farklı uzmanların görüşleri dikkate alınarak, SWARA-WASPAS hibrit karar verme yöntemi, bu sistemlerin karakteristik kriterlerine göre uygulanmış ve uygulama sonunda her seçim problemi için duyarlılık analizi yapılmıştır. Tez sonucunda her bir robot seçim probleminden en uygun robotlar belirlenmiş ve her robot sınıfı için yapılan duyarlılık analizi ile en uygun robotun değişmediği, ancak diğer alternatiflerin kullanılan optimallik katsayısı değerine bağlı olarak değişebileceği görülmüştür.

    Biological System Analysis in Bioinspired Conceptual Design (bicd) for Bioinspired Robots
    (Romanian Soc Control Tech informatics, 2011) Eroglu, Aylin Konez; Eroğlu, Aylin Konez; Erden, Zuhal; Erden, Zühal; Erden, Abdulkadir; Erden, Abdulkadir; Eroğlu, Aylin Konez; Erden, Zühal; Erden, Abdulkadir; Department of Mechatronics Engineering; Department of Mechatronics Engineering; Mechatronics Engineering; Mechatronics Engineering; Department of Mechatronics Engineering; Mechatronics Engineering
    Bioinspired design (BID) provides a systematic way for bioinspired applications. Although several BID approaches as well as some tools and databases are available in the literature, the studies on BID are still challenging for designers and/or engineers because of limitations of current BID approaches. There are mainly two directions related with these limitations. One of them is the representation of knowledge on biological systems and the second is the problem of transforming this knowledge into engineering domain. These limitations expose two questions; firstly, "What knowledge is required to describe biological systems?" and "How this knowledge is represented?" and secondly, "How this knowledge is transformed into the engineering domain?". This paper presents a study which aims to answer the first question about knowledge required to represent biological systems. This knowledge is obtained during "Analysis of Biological Systems" stage of a new suggested bioinspired conceptual design (BICD) procedure.

    Petri Net Modeling and Simulation of Walking Behaviour for Design of a Bioinspired Robot Dog
    (SciTePress, 2016) Erden,Z.; Araz,M.
    Research in behavior-based design faces many challenges regarding the AIDS in conceptual design of biorobots, representation of a biological system,s behavior in a well formed modeling tool and therefore providing systematic transformation of this behavior into robot design. This paper reports a research that focuses on the development of a Petri Net model to represent a biological system,s behavior. The model is based on real time data collected from an experiment in which a dog is walking on a treadmill with a speed of 1km/h. The model has the ability of simulating the real time rhythm of dog's walking behavior utilizing colors and numbers as well as the step-by-step simulation. The aim is to observe the behavior of a walking dog in time domain as an early stage of conceptual design of a bioinspired robot dog. Main challenge is to develop a methodology to guide designer towards more creative designs based on bioinspired design ideas. The presented work is an early attempt to initiate a systematic approach towards the stated goal. © Copyright 2016 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda. All rights reserved.

    Creative Design Engineering Education for Human-Society Integrated Intelligent Systems
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2026) Erden, Zuhal; Erden, Abdulkadir
    The essence and vital roots of scientific activities create theoretical propositions and models that provide unique integrity of the associated concepts, definitions, approaches and methodological components. Design engineering education has made great progress to date by integrating modern methods and tools into the existing process models focused on unique curriculum programs for students' progress during various scientific and technical levels. Contemporary and integrated socio-scientific environments, however, are generally more productive and initiative for future success stories of engineering graduates with high qualifications and science/technology-motivated professional life. Today's global transition from the "industrial-digital age" to the "sustainable knowledge economy and digital society" opens a new path for design engineering education, enforcing a paradigm shift towards training creative professionals who develop and implement new knowledge in real-world social environments. This paper presents and discusses the models, methods and tools to establish a road-map into next-generation creative design engineering education paradigm.

    Based on the multidisciplinary needs of today's complex and innovative technology, accreditation bodies of engineering demand proof of multidisciplinary teamwork in undergraduate engineering curricula. This article reports the design and conduct of a Multidisciplinary Engineering Design (MED) course initiated as a result of accreditation process requirements. The course, which consists of multidisciplinary lectures, practice sessions, and various phases of a multidisciplinary team project, was conducted online because of the COVID-19 pandemic by a multidisciplinary team of instructors using multiple software tools to enhance collaboration. In general, the course outcomes were satisfied under the current design, and several points for further improvement and elaboration were collected via quantitative and qualitative evaluations. Accordingly, the results show that the project-based and team-based MED course, in terms of multidisciplinary course management and its outcomes, can benefit from the use of software tools in creating a multidisciplinary team in distance education by means of enhanced cooperation and motivation among the participants.

    Representation of the Operational Behaviour of an Educational Robot at Conceptual Design Using Petri Nets
    (Amer Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2010) Erden,Z.
    Increasing demand for computational support at conceptual design makes behavioural modeling a challenging area for design research. This is mainly because a behavioural model of a nonexistent design artifact at conceptual level is the basis for behavioural simulation and resulting computational design support. Behavioural models are particularly important for top-down design of multidisciplinary products such as mechatronic systems. During the conceptual design of such systems, intended "operational behavior" of the artifact is described without any physical realization. As design stages become more concrete, operational behaviour can be refined so as to represent well defined mathematical descriptions of corresponding physical behaviors. In this study, a model for representing the intended operational behaviour of a nonexistent educational robot, namely a rabbit robot, is presented for conceptual design. The operational behaviour of the robot is defined as composed of states and state transitions independent of any physical embodiment. Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) and Petri Net formalism are used for the model. This representational model is the first step towards the development of a virtual prototype for the operational behaviour of an educational robot. © 2010 by ASME.

    Behavioural Representation and Simulation of Design Concepts for Systematic Conceptual Design of Mechatronic Systems Using Petri Nets
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Araz, Macit; Erden, Zuhal
    The systematic representation of design concepts is an important requirement for computational support during the conceptual design stage within the process of product development. Behavioural simulation of design concepts is used as a systematic representation framework, and behavioural representation is based on modelling and simulating the behaviour of a design artefact at the conceptual level to perform an overall function, leading to behaviour-based conceptual design. The behaviour-based conceptual design approach is critical for mechatronic systems since they require synergistic integration starting from the initial conceptual design phase. The present study is focused on behavioural representation and simulation of design concepts via discrete event system specification formalism and Petri Nets so as to contribute to systematic conceptual design in mechatronic systems. The paper introduces a representation framework for the behaviour-based conceptual design of mechatronic systems and its implementation on five selected case studies, among laboratory-level educational robots. In addition to Petri Net modelling and computer simulations, the implementation also includes physical simulations of the intended operational behaviours for educational robots on a distributed physical structure called the desktop design model'. In this paper, implementation on one of these case studies, namely the frog robot', is presented in detail.
